We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin – Magna Carta. Distinguished constitutional historian David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth. He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?
英国著名物理学家史蒂芬•霍金近日发出警告,称外星生物可能真的存在,但是人类与他们接触可能会带来毁灭性的后果。在“探索”频道新近推出的纪录片《与霍金一起了解宇宙》中,霍金指出外星生物在消耗尽自己星球上的资源后便会乘坐大型飞船到他们能够到达的星球掠夺资源,并将那里开拓成为他们的殖民地;如果有外星生物到访地球,那将会像当年意大利航海家哥伦布登陆美洲大陆一样,最后给人类带来毁灭性的灾难。 68岁的霍金在片中谈论了他对宇宙外星生命问题的最新思考。他认为外星生命几乎肯定存在於宇宙的许多其他地方——不仅是活在行星之上,甚至还可能存在於恒星中心,甚或是漂浮於行星间的广阔宇宙。 霍金认为外星人存在的理论依据,超乎寻常的「简单」。他指出,宇宙有1000亿个银河系,每个都包含上亿计恒星,在这样一个庞大空间裏,地球不大可能是唯一演化出生命的行星。「我觉得,纯粹出於数学脑筋去想,单是如此巨大的数字,就足已令『外星人存在』的想法显得完全合理。真正的挑战是,去发现外星人到底是什么样子。」 《与霍金一起了解宇宙》这纪录片耗3年多制作,期间霍金曾多次坚持对剧本作大幅修改。Discovery执行制作人史密森(John Smithson)说:「他希望能制作一个既能娱乐大众、又能娱乐科学界的节目,考虑到其复杂性,这是一项很难的工作。」(简介转自Dexter)
In this three-part series for BBC One, Sue will explore the lives of the people living close the river and the challenges facing India as it transforms into one the world's great economic powers. The Ganges is the story of modern India in one spectacular river. Sue Perkins follows her journeys up the Mekong and through Kolkata with an epic travel series down the length of the Ganges, which is worshipped by Hindus as a living Goddess. Sue will travel from the sacred source of the river, high in the Himalayas, through the industrial and agricultural heartlands of the Gangetic Plain and the ancient city of Varanasi, to the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal. She will join pilgrims seeking to wash clean the sins of alifetime at the Ganges' source; work alongside fishermen and farmers in the Sunderbarns, who share their forests with man-eating tigers; and join some of the thousands of young women leaving rural villages and moving to the cities to find work and freedom. Sue says: 「I've travelled the length of the Ganges, from the oxygen-starved peaks of the Himalayas to the vast delta in West Bengal, meeting a huge array of characters on the way. Expect cows on bridges, India's Most Energetic Monk, and me, in a dress. I can't wait for you to see it.」
As "Alone" enters its fourth season, the competition series shakes things up with a new twist: the contestants are dropped off in a remote location as pairs. Seven pairs of family members travel to a rugged region of British Columbia, where they are separated and dropped off miles apart from each other. Each player must navigate the wilderness to locate his or her partner. Once reunited, the loved ones have to create their own shelters and forage for their food while overcoming rough weather conditions and deadly predators. They have nothing more than the contents of their small backpacks and 10 tools split between them to help with their survival. They also have enough camera gear to record their experiences because -- as in the past -- there is no camera crew. The last duo standing at the end of the season is declared the winner and takes home the $500,000 grand prize.
